JOHNNY BEHIND THE WHEEL

Johnny Manziel is BACK ... in the club scene not the NFL ... hitting up two clubs Wednesday night and TMZ Sports has the footage.

The unemployed NFL quarterback started his night off at the Lakers game at Staples Center -- but after the game was over, he rolled into The Nice Guy ... which was packed with huge stars like Kendall Jenner, Brody Jenner, Nick Jonas, Selena Gomez and more.

After a while, Manziel decided it was time to move and took the party over to Warwick nightclub ... where he stayed until 2 AM.

For what it's worth, Manziel didn't appear to be wasted -- he looked sober and was even driving a car at one point.

So, see you again tonight?

Published | Updated

Kyrie Irving finally broke his silence on his ex-GF Kehlani ... saying he has "nothing but love and compassion" for her -- but blames HER ex-BF for starting all of the social media drama.

As we previously reported, Kehlani was placed on a psychiatric hold earlier this week -- claiming she was suicidal after social media shamed her for allegedly cheating on Irving with her ex-BF ... a guy named "PartyNextDoor."

But in a Twitter statement Wednesday night, Irving pointed the finger at PND -- claiming it was his fault for posting a pic of him and Kehlani in bed before the world knew she had broken up with Kyrie.

"I do not justify the picture or what dude did to try and spark all of this non sense that could have been avoided," Irving wrote.

"Me and Kehlani were not dating when the picture came out."

Irving added, "Nothing but love and compassion over this way for her and her family. My only focus the Game I love to play every night."

Irving has since removed his tweets.

'Making a Murderer' New Prison But Still ... No WrestleMania For Brendan Dassey

Published | Updated

"Making a Murderer" star, and controversial convict, Brendan Dassey's lost all hope in his new prison -- he will not get to see his favorite show, WrestleMania ... TMZ has learned.

Dassey transferred to Columbia Criminal Institution in Wisconsin in January, and prison officials tell us there's a strict rule against violence, foul language and nudity for TV viewing. That means the WWE's main event is off the table, so avid wrestling fan Dassey is screwed.

If you watched 'Murderer,' you'll recall Dassey's main concern after getting arrested for homicide in March 2006 ... was that he'd miss WrestleMania 22 the next month.

Dassey -- who's serving a life sentence -- ran into the same ban in his previous prison. He should get used to missing out, since he's still more than 30 years from a shot at parole.

Published | Updated

Sure, things got heated ... but the cop who traded insults with Jon Jones during his drag racing stop last week is NOT under review for his behavior ... the Albuquerque PD tells TMZ Sports.

The UFC fighter made it clear from the beginning of the stop that he was unhappy with the way he was being treated by Officer Brown on Thursday night ... calling him a "f*cking liar" and a "pig."

THE HEATED EXCHANGE

Now, the APD is making it clear they didn't feel Brown did anything overtly wrong.

"Officer Brown is not under any type of review," Public Information Officer Tanner Tixier tells us.

"[His] interaction with Mr. Jones didn’t violate any standard operating procedures so further inquiry isn’t warranted."

"However, if Mr. Jones feels he was treated inappropriately, he may file a Citizen Police Complaint against Ofc. Brown, which would result in an investigation into the traffic stop."

Sources close to the Dallas Cowboys star and his fiancee tell TMZ Sports the two are looking at a "secluded Cape Cod compound" in the celebrity laden Sherman Oaks/Encino area.

Orlando had listed his Woodland Hills estate -- with hot shot realtor Lee Mintz -- at $2.1 million late last year ... but recently reduced the price around $250k ... we're guessing to expedite the whole "moving out of the place she tossed my shoes in the pool" thing.
